More Adventures With Food

We must share a quick post with you about some fun food adventures from the past few weeks.

First, our eggs just keep coming. The ladies give us up to four eggs a day, so we are working hard to either eat them, or share them with our very happy neighbors. We are getting some 'WHOPPER' double-yolker's every now and then that are a meal in themselves.
Here is a photo of a normal egg between 2 double-yolker's (a quarter is there as a size reference).
All I can say is 'OUCH'! No wonder the girls make a ruckus and cluck their heads off when they lay their eggs (I will try to get a video of when that happens to share on the blog).
We really love the green/blue color of the eggs. they are like little jewels.
One double-yolker egg is all I need for breakfast. YUM!
Here are a couple if neat food wonders I came across while preparing food over the last few weeks. I cut a butternut squash in half just before Valentines Day to roast it up for dinner and this is what I found inside. A double heart. Now there is a good omen if I ever saw one! :o)
Then, I was making a kale salad and decided to add a pear. When I cored the pear, I suddenly saw these fabulous antelope faces in the part I removed. They make quite a pair, doncha think? (pun intended!)
On my birthday in February, there was a knock at the front door. When I opened it, there stood the UPS guy and he handed me a box. What could it be? When I opened it up, much to my surprise, there was a whole case of Moon Pies (yep, 48 of them!). Rowan had heard me talk about them when I saw a story about them on TV, so, she went on-line to find me some. They are such a blast from my past. My mom used to put them in my lunch when I was in grammar school back in the 1960's. I loved them! So, now I will be eating them for the next few months. Just what I need for my girlie figure :o)
Who knew they were still being made?

Some fun from our trip to the California sun coming next. Stay tuned.............
